Re: Dropping of /QNTC support for certain functions

I would assume it applies to anything that touches QNTC.

I always tell customers to stay away from two folders.. QNTC and

QDLS...

This won't break anything with SPLTOOL except for maybe a couple

customers

out of thousands that probably use QNTC. I've already saved this link

for

those that run into an issue. I may post it on FieldExit.com as well.

Also, SPLTOOL doesn't use IBM i Transformation services at all (not

sure

if that was the suggestion?). It was creating PDFs many years before

IBM

even had the idea. :)

Brad Stone - I wonder will this break SPLTOOL command SPL2STMF where
the target is '/QNTC/...'?

(BTW - we use SPLTOOL all over the place. Very happy with it.)

IBM will be removing (not just unsupporting) support for /QNTC for
directly outputting reports from 5770-TS1 (IBM Transform Services for

i).

This will happen for currently supported versions of the OS and not
just future releases. The MTU for said releases has been updated

accordingly.

So if you do stuff like
OVRPRTF FILE(QP1ARCY) DEVTYPE(*AFPDS) TOSTMF(&QP1ARCY) WSCST(*PDF)
and /QNTC was part of &QP1ARCY then store it local first and then CPY
it to QNTC.
Luckily we were already doing this. At least for our BRMS recovery
reports.

There are numerous other MTU updates mentioned there.
